This one-year, ACGME-accredited fellowship provides advanced training in all aspects of
Cytopathology as well as substantial exposure to surgical pathology with emphasis on the
correlation between these two disciplines. The fellow participates in the daily sign-out of all
specimens and provides immediate on-site interpretation for superficial and deep FNAs with
progressive responsibilities leading to the development of diagnostic autonomy. A dedicated
Ultrasound-guided FNA (USFNA) service is located in the Pathology Department, staffed by
three USFNA-trained pathologists, with an annual volume of 350 cases. The Cytopathology
fellow receives training in palpation and ultrasound-guided FNA and actively participates in
procedures under direct attending supervision. Approximately 14,000 specimens are evaluated
annually, including 2500 non-gynecologic exfoliative specimens and 1800 fine needle aspiration
biopsies covering the spectrum of cytopathology practice with extensive use of
immunochemistry, flow cytometry, molecular and cytogenetic ancillary studies. Appropriate
clinical management as applied to surgical and cytopathology diagnoses and interdisciplinary
communication are stressed. Participation in the instruction of residents through lectures and
slide sessions is an integral part of the program. Over 4,000 glass slide study sets are available
for review. Fellows will also gain practical skills in laboratory management. Translational
research as well as clinical research for presentation at national level is encouraged.
Requirements: Candidates must have satisfactorily completed an accredited training program
in AP or AP/CP.

Stipends: Salary and benefits are commensurate with level of training.

Applications: Interested individuals should submit a CV and the Standardized Application for
Pathology Fellowship form found on the CAP website (www.cap.org), the VCU Pathology
website (www.pathology.vcu.edu) or for more information, contact the training program

Description: This ACGME-accredited program provides comprehensive training in pediatric and adult Hematopathology. It is aimed at those who have fulfilled a standard pathology residency and wish to specialize in hematopathology in either a community hospital or academic setting. Under direct supervision of the faculty, the fellows become proficient in the morphologic evaluation of bone marrow biopsies and aspirate smears, lymphoid tissues, blood smears, and body fluids as well as in the interpretation of automated hematology data and special diagnostic studies, including flow cytometric data, molecular diagnostic assays, and classical/molecular cytogenetics, especially FISH analysis. The fellows also evaluate surgical and cytopathology specimens with potential hematopoietic malignancy, and gain experience in the laboratory interpretation of anemias, diseases of hemostasis and thrombosis, and other benign diseases of the hematopoietic system. The fellows gain experience in laboratory management through ongoing participation in quality assurance and quality control studies, instrument and procedure modifications, and projects to improve personnel utilization and patient safety. The daily supervision of residents and medical students in the hematology laboratory is the responsibility of the fellows, and there are a variety of opportunities to participate in other teaching, as well as basic or clinical research studies.

Requirements: Preference will be given to applicants who have completed AP/CP training, or are board eligible in anatomic and/or clinical pathology. All candidates must have passed USMLE Step 3.

Applications: Interested individuals should submit a CV and the Standardized Application for Pathology Fellowship form found on the CAP website (www.cap.org), the VCU Pathology website (www.pathology.vcu.edu). Applicants should also request 3 letters of recommendation, one of which should come from their current program director. All documentation should be sent to the training program coordinator:

The program provides intensive training in all aspects of Neuropathology (NP) with the aim of
preparing our fellows for Board Certification and a successful career as an academic
neuropathologist. Fellows gain familiarity with a wide variety of diseases of the nervous system,
skeletal muscle, peripheral nerve, and eye, developing diagnostic proficiency through both
morphologic examination and utilization of ancillary techniques including
immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and molecular analysis. A variety of research
opportunities are available within the division and the VCU health system, with an emphasis on
neuro-oncology. Preference will be given to applicants seeking a conventional two year
neuropathology training commitment, though other arrangements may be available on an
individual basis.

Requirements: At least two years of post-graduate training are required; this may include 2
years of anatomic pathology (AP) or 1 year AP plus 1 year clinical training in
neurology/neurosurgery. Combined AP/NP applicants will also be considered.

Stipends: Salary and benefits are commensurate with year of postgraduate training.

Applications: Interested individuals should submit a CV and the Standardized Application for
Pathology Fellowship form found on the CAP website (www.cap.org), the VCU Pathology
website (www.pathology.vcu.edu) or for more information contact the training program
